Add a larger warning more clearly explaining the consequences of missing
packed header support in the driver. Also only write the extradata if the
user actually requests it via the GLOBAL_HEADER flag.
Choose what types of reference frames will be used based on what types
are available, and make the intra-only mode explicit (GOP size one,
which must be used for MJPEG).
Query which modes are supported and select between VBR and CBR based
on that - this removes all of the codec-specific rate control mode
selection code.
Previously there was one fixed choice for each codec (e.g. H.265 -> Main
profile), and using anything else then required an explicit option from
the user. This changes to selecting the profile based on the input format
and the set of profiles actually supported by the driver (e.g. P010 input
will choose Main 10 profile for H.265 if the driver supports it).
The entrypoint and render target format are also chosen dynamically in the
same way, removing those explicit selections from the per-codec code.
Explicitly identify decoder/encoder wrappers with a common name. This
saves API users from guessing by the name suffix. For example, they
don't have to guess that "h264_qsv" is the h264 QSV implementation, and
instead they can just check the AVCodec .codec and .wrapper_name fields.
Explicitly mark AVCodec entries that are hardware decoders or most
likely hardware decoders with new AV_CODEC_CAPs. The purpose is allowing
API users listing hardware decoders in a more generic way. The proposed
AVCodecHWConfig does not provide this information fully, because it's
concerned with decoder configuration, not information about the fact
whether the hardware is used or not.
AV_CODEC_CAP_HYBRID exists specifically for QSV, which can have software
implementations in case the hardware is not capable.
Based on a patch by Philip Langdale <philipl@overt.org>.
Merges Libav commit 47687a2f8a.
This allows better checking of capabilities and will make it easier
to add more functionality later.
It also commonises some duplicated code around rate control setup
and adds more comments explaining the internals.

These are all trivial to merge.
